Today we look at information and affirmations for freeing the energy of the Heart Chakra.  Enjoy and be sure to come back tomorrow for for information and affirmations on the Throat Chakra.

Heart Chakra

Color – Green

ASSOCIATED BODY PARTS
Pericardium, heart, lungs, and circulation.  An imbalance in the heart Chakra can result in arteriosclerosis, angina, myocardial infarction, heart arrhythmia and stenosis of the heart and lung.  It can also affect the lungs with conditions such as pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, tuberculosis.

LIFE EXPERIENCE

When the energy of the Heart Chakra is flowing freely we experience a life where we have unconditional love and compassion for ourselves and others. We recognize that all we are is love. We are able to give our love freely to others knowing that there is an infinite supply.

When there is an imbalance in the Heart Chakra there can be a tendency to experience  fear of giving and receiving love.  This fear also blocks health, joy, and goodness from coming into our lives.  The tendency is also to avoid activities that can bring us great joy and happiness in our lives.

In freeing the energy of the Heart Chakra, we want to cultivate thoughts and feelings of love. Love for our self, love for others, love for everything around us.

Below are a number of powerful affirmations for the Heart Chakra to assist you with cultivating those thoughts.

In todays post in The Secrets Of Personal Development series, I will be discussing Clarity, one of the most important elements in making a positive change in your life. Almost all great Self Help books talk about the importance of being clear about your desired outcome. In the Seven Habits Highly Successful People, Steven Covey encourages us to “Begin With The End In Mind”.

By having a clear image and/or vision of what you want to experience in life, you automatically activate and give the needed information to your subconscious mind to start creating and attracting the circumstances, people, and resources necessary to manifest your desired outcome.

The challenge I have found in getting clear about what they want to experience in their life is that they confuse what they think they want with what society, parents, friends, etc. have programmed and conditioned them to want. Many people start off thinking what they want/need to be happy is more money, a better relationship, a more fulfilling career.

Certainly all of these things can enhance our enjoyment and sense of fulfillment in our lives, so many people strive for these things, and even after achieving them find they are still not expereincing the happiness or fulfillment they had hoped for.

I am sure you have heard it said that true happiness begins inside of ourselves. It is also inside of oursleves that we find the clarity of our passion and purpose in life. At this point it is common for your conscious mind to say “I know that” and tune out to the rest of what I am going to communicate to you. Let me tell you that this is simply a clever trick that the conscious mind uses to keep you exactly where you are.

To truly know anything you have to go beyond simply hearing about it, or reading about it, or even studying it. You must expereince it.  I am going to encourage you to tune out what your conscious mind is saying to you, and actually take a few minutes to experience becoming more clear about your purpose and passion in life and the path they lays before you.

Below I will outline a simple excercise for you to experience. You can choose to do it for longer periods of time, however for now all I ask is that you try it for ten minutes, and simply notice if you become more clear as a result of your expereince.

1. Get Into A Comfortable And Relaxed Position.
This can be sitting in chair, sitting on the floor, or perhaps lying on the floor. Be sure to loosen any clothing that you find restricting you in any way.

2. Become Aware Of Your Breathing
Once you are in a comfortable and relaxed position simply spend a minute or two being aware of your breathing as you breathe in and breathe out. Notice how your breathing becomes more deep getnle and rhythmic as time goes by. Also notice how your body begins to relax and your mind becomes mentally calm.

3. Place One Or Both Hands On Your Heart And Ask Yourself A Question.
After being aware of your breathing for a minute or two, place one or both of your hands on your heart, and ask yourself the following question “What do I truly want to experience in my life?”. Allow yourself to be open to receiving the answer in whatever form it may come. It may come as a feeling, it may come as a word or phrase, it may come as a picture, etc. Simply have an expectation of receiving an answer to your question and be open to receiving it.

4. Some Alternatives
In addition to asking the question above, you may also want to try asking the question this way, “What do I truly want to offer to the world? or “How do I want to be of service to the world?”. You can ask any one of these questions or all three. simply allow some time in between your asking and your receiving an answer.

You may also want (and I recommend asking) your question(s) several times to access deeper and deeper parts of yourself. Also if you are ever unclear about an answer you receive, you can simply ask your inner self to answer again in a way that you can understand.

The key to this excersize (as is the case in much of our lives) is to allow yourself to get out of your head and connect deeply to your heart. It is their that all the chaos, confusion, fear, and doubt will dissolve, and the path before you will become clear.

This is just a quick post to let you all know that I did some expereimenting with adjusting the colors & layout of this site.  The experiment did not succeed and now my site is currently a little (or a lot, depending on your perspective) out of whack.

I have called in the technical “Big Guns” to clean up my mess, and hopefully by Monday April 5th, all will be well again.  Thanks for your understanding.

Namaste,
